LIT & LDP Program (13-14 year olds)
For our older campers we offer a Leader in Training and Leadership Development Program. LIT is for our 1st year leaders and LDP is for our returning leaders. As LITs our leaders spend ½ their day in groups with younger campers acting as big brother or big sisters. The other ½ of their day is spent operating the camp store, performing camp duties (trash, recycling, office work, inventory, etc.) and recreationally (high ropes climbing, sports, swimming, boating, etc.). As LDPs the Leaders are placed into tracks (counselor, specialist, inclusion, etc.) and the LDPs spend 1/2 their time with Jr. Counselors in camp as well as in their track. The other ½ of their day is spent as the head Leaders operating the camp store and performing camp duties (trash, recycling, office work, inventory, etc.). At the end of the summer the LDPs and LITs have a potluck dinner with their families to show off what they learned during the past summer. During the Spring a renuion in planned for past Leaders to catchup with each other at an offsite location for a social event.
